The sharpest ad vance of the season at Liverpool and at other foreign markets today gave the Patten crowd an advantage this morn- ng that worked against tne Dears an day. New high records were mode in th May and July but the other options generally ruled a- fraction lower than tha extreme of vesterdav. The market closed sharply higher for the May and a iracuon up . ror tne juiy oui vaiuea in . the September ' and December were lower. . .. i ' . That Patten has not deserted his pet the May option was clearly demon strated today when some extensive buy ing was said to have come from his house, It is stated that most of the buying was from shorts, which means that the latter are still determined to undermine the King of. the Pit by some means or otner. When Liverpool came i Sd higher today it was the signal for some heavy short covering In the nit here. This carried the May and July to the highest point or tne present year as wen as for many former seasons. May went to 21.28 aa compared with yesterday's high at 21-26 and July moved sharply higher to 21.17 as compared with yes terday's high record at 2115. The traae in general has begun to believe that the present high price, of wneat nas more tnan aiscounten any possible damage ' at . this time of the growing-crop and - f or ' that - jeason" was a seller or the September- and Decern- oer deliveries and ootn or these options closed with a, loss ; from , yesterday's price.

DISTRIBUTING SCHOOL .: 1 .yUSPS IN -UMATILLA: 'Hpec1al'llspatch te The Journal.)' . Pendleton. Or., April 12. The larg est apportionment of chool funds In Umatilla county Is being made by. County Superintendent Welles. The t-- . tal amount to be distributed is a little more than 238,000, or about 26 for each boy and girl of school age In the county.. The apportionment is based upon th census taken In November, 1907, as th law provides that It shall be mad on th basis of the census contained In the last general reports of the school dis trict clerks. The last reports were made In June and were based on the census taken the preceding fall, By this apportionment being so large th one to be made in October will be vry small. Since practically all of the county taxes have already been paid, there will remain little more than the. state fund to be apportioned. If all the taxes were paid when due ther would be nothing but the state fund to be apportioned In October. - - ' if ' ' ' ' J J' Bonds Investments CALL' OR WRITE T. S.
